Posted by Masroor Khan in 1.1 comment so far

Its always a difficult task finding your desired username when you signup to some service or social bookmarking network. Mostly you find out that your desired username is already taken, and you are provided with a list of available username if it is gmail, hotmail or yahoo for that matter. The irritating word ’your desired username is already taken’ is now resolved thanks to NameChk. Just type your desired word and hit the search it will display your user name availability over the hundreds of websites given below the search bar. If there is a match it will show available otherwise taken. If you are looking for a unique user name and want to check whether or not your name is available on all the websites you should try out this website.
There is another similar service, UserNameCheck that has the similar purpose discussed some time back.

It feels easy when certain things are cut down to a certain size, URL’S are no different. By shortening links one can easily share their matter to their followers Profi.ly is another URL shortening service. You may be thinking we have already covered a similar sort of service earlier. Profily is a little different than the previous one. This one helps all of your social networking profiles created all over the web sphere to combine under one roof. The only thing common between all of your profile is you and your selected friends. It is a good introduction and you people might wonder why am I so confident and why am I the one taking a stand for it. There imply more than one reason. First and for most you are getting an opportunity to combine all the networks allowing you to sign in at the same place at the same time. Secondly it unites all Id’s into one no need use the links and sign in your username be it Twitter, Facebook, Orkut Myspace , etc, etc. It creates a directory containing links to all your profiles. That is why it is convenient enough for me

The COO of Facebook joins the board of directors of Starbuks her first position in public company.
Sandberg, who’s generally shy of press (she’s done just one video interview since she joined Facebook a year ago), is going to be getting a lot of credit in the future for driving revenue growth at Facebook. Prior to Facebook she was the VP Online Operations and Sales at Google and one of their first 300 employees. She was also previously with McKinsey & Company, the Chief of Staff for the United States Treasury Department under President Bill Clinton, and an economist with the World Bank where she worked on eradicating leprosy in India. And she’s not yet 40.
The Starbucks job comes with a $280,000 annual salary. But, absurdly, the job doesn’t get her free coffee.

Readernaut: For those who love Books March 25, 2009

Books have been the best friends ever for the man. Without it one feels incomplete and boring. Although many things have tried to replace them such as Internet research and TV documentaries and audio stuff has also provided support to the human mind and soul but still far behind as far as books go. Many people round the world still prefer reading books with much detailed text than to search over the web engines. Readernaut lets you share the experiences of what you love to do the most and that’s reading. The site lets you follow other enthusiasts to share their opinion on books and comment on your readings.
Write notes anything you find interesting, give it your subtitle and wait for the others to let understand what actually are you trying to say. It is similar of being your own critic. As far as I am concerned I am not really that much interested in reading but those who love to struggle and create something big out of the blue the service is worth trying.

When we look at a dazzling presentation of any website we start to wonder who is its web host. When you search for its domain you discover the name of the domain and the Name Servers it is using but its difficult to figure out in the exact way possible as domains uses Child name servers such as Ns1 and Ns2.
Its no more as difficult as was in earlier days using free online website Whoishostingthis just enter the domain name and search its as easy as 123.

Posted by mumairkhan in 1.2 comments

ReadBurner launches a new service BurnUrl to shorten URLs. You might think there are many services that perform on similar function then why the hell we jump to it? The answer is simple its different from other similar services. Not only it makes easy sharing of links on different social networking and book marking websites i.e Facebook, Digg, Twitter e.t.c. Plus it shows the number of times the page is browsed and visited based on page views. For me this is here to stay and will command respect long enough.
